I'm curious what people are using to centralize authentication and user,
password, and services management. What are your thoughts on each? I'm
aware of these Open Source solutions:
- NIS (YP) - insecure
- Hesiod + Kerberos
Hesiod and Kerberos seem like a nice combination. Kerberos seems very
secure for authentication, but I've read that Hesiod is insecure. Users
can pretend to be another userid.

Thomas
